The Back Log Boys are headed to the 2010s for the first time since the very beginning of the show! America seems to be getting a pretty bad rap with the movies that we've seen. Will they be able to handle the pressure of Ben Affleck's 2012 historical drama ARGO? This movie definitely makes a splash one way or another, but it remains to be seen if it's a graceful nose-dive or a glorious belly-flop. Of course we'll be placing our trust into the hands of the random number wheel and finding out what film is up next at the end of the episode.

Out of all the wars, the conflict in Vietnam is surely a strange one to be an aficionado of. That doesn't stop Timo, though. But what do the other Back Log Boys think about not only the war but Oliver Stone's depiction of it? Will the war crimes be too much? Or does it pale in comparison to other movies of the same conflagration? And as always, find out what movie we'll be tackling next week with our random spin at the end of the episode.

UH OH! Get yourself ready for a firey discussion about Fred Zinnemann's war drama (?) of the days leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Some of the Back Log Boys think one way about this movie, and some of them think the exact opposite. There's no way that this can end in a mutually agreed placement... Oh well, it makes for an interesting discussion. Check out the end of the episode to find out what movie we're watching next week.
